This is a submission for the CheeseHacks hackathon.
This project uses NBA data from nba_api and gather data from all 30 teams in the NBA and 400+ players in the NBA.
We use the data from the regular season to make predictions on whether a team wins and specifies how strong the model predicts the outcome. Like a betting system, our algorithm also predicts whether a player will (over/under) reach a certain number regarding points, rebounds, or steals.
The algorithm outputs the predicted number of points/rebounds/steals that the player will reach and also outputs the probability that the player will reach that goal.
